These two visualizations, one a radial chart and one a bar chart, show the same information, a rating of how necessary the following skills are for Health majors. Toggle between "value" and "RCA" to see the absolute rating of that skill (value) and the revealed comparative advantage (RCA), or how much greater or lesser that skill's rating is than the average. The longer the bar or the closer the line comes to the circumference of the circle, the more important that skill is. The importance of Service Orientation is very distinctive for majors, but the Active Listening, Reading Comprehension, Speaking, Critical Thinking, Social Perceptiveness, Writing, Service Orientation, Active Learning, Monitoring, Judgment and Decision Making, Coordination, Complex Problem Solving, Instructing, Time Management, Learning Strategies, Persuasion, Systems Analysis, Systems Evaluation, Management of Personnel Resources, Negotiation, Science, Mathematics, Operation Monitoring, Operations Analysis, Quality Control Analysis, Operation and Control, Management of Material Resources, Management of Financial Resources, Troubleshooting, Technology Design, Programming, Equipment Selection, Equipment Maintenance, Repairing, and Installation are the three most important skills for people in the field.
